Pope Francis is expected to touchdown in Edmonton on Sunday and there will be rolling road closures to accommodate his motor brigade.

Queen Elizabeth 2 Highway northbound between the Edmonton International Airport and Edmonton city limits will be closed for a time before and after the Pope passes through. He is expected to arrive at the airport at 11:20 a.m., Sunday.

Delays are expected and drivers are encouraged to plan ahead or take alternative routes.

The Pope will be in town until Wednesday, visiting sacred Indigenous grounds as a part of the Catholic Church’s reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.
